The effect of dry needling on biomechanical data in subjects with hamstring tightness in dynamic tasks
Design
Patients are randomly divided into two groups of dry needle and sham-dry needle by block-balance method from randomization site. The study is single blind and the dry needle group included 8 patients and the sham-dry needle group included 8 patients.
Settings and conduct
In this study, women aged 18-40 years who have bilateral hamstring shortness are selected. Short hamstring test (AKE active knee extension or active knee extension) and single leg stance test and walking tests: slow walking, fast walking and running are performed using Moticon smart insoles made in Germany, and the changes of the mean displacement of the pressure center, the velocity of the displacement of the pressure center are evaluated.
Then, patients are randomly divided into two groups. For the dry needle group, applying 30*50mm needle near the motor points of the hamstring muscles and in the sham-needle group, apply a 13 x 20 mm needle only in the area of the motor points in the tissue so that the person feels the needle of the treatment and place it in the tissue for 20 minutes After that, tests are repeated immediately after the intervention and after 3th session and after 5th session and the second to fifth sessions are performed with an interval of 48 hours.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Extension limit in active knee extension test equal to or greater than 20 degrees. Exclusion criteria: Fear of the needle; Metabolic disorders such as diabetes; Pregnancy.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Patients are randomly divided into two groups of dry needle and sham needle by block-balance method from randomization site, in such a way that we give the site software the number of groups and the required number of samples, then the site a category According to the number of samples we need, for example, the first person is in group a and the second person is in group b, and we write this category on paper and put the sum of the papers in a box and each sample Considering that he is the second person in the group, he takes his paper and gives it to us. In this method, the number of groups, the maximum number of people considered according to the list provided by the site are randomly placed in groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
We write the category received from the site on a piece of paper and fold the paper and put all the papers in a box, and each sample, given that it is the second person in the group, takes its paper and gives it to us, and this is the content of the group. The layout inside the paper is unaware.

Intervention groups
1
Description
Intervention group: Dry needle group, in this group, the patient lies prone and in three points behind each thigh, which is the motor point of the hamstring muscles, a 50 * 30 mm echo needle made in China is inserted and a needle in the opposite direction is inserted too. Rotate the clock 360 degrees for 15 seconds and then the needle is inserted into the tissue for 20 minutes. We perform this intervention within 5 days with an interval of 48 hours.

Description
Control group: In this group which is called the sham-needle group, the patient lies prone and in three points behind each thigh, which is the motor point of the hamstring muscles, researcher inserts a 13 * 20 mm echo needle made in China and then inserts the needle in the tissue for 20 minutes. And do this within 5 days with an interval of 48 hours.
